Chapter 73 The Slum Boy's Desperate Comeback (18)
After the screams of the noble cannon fodder who were pushed out, Truys, hidden in the shadows, fiddled with the ring on his finger, looking rather smug.
He gave a chilling smile, a smug smile masking his deep resentment towards Sisley. These negative emotions were practically turning Tru into a monster!
The larvae smelled the meat and went absolutely berserk, quickly turning the poor creatures into skeletons!
At the same time, in the homes of these noble children of the Katz Empire, the spiritual imprints branded on the parchment scrolls disappeared!
This means they have virtually no chance of survival!
When the parents and relatives of those aristocratic children discovered this fact, their expressions changed drastically! They immediately went to the heads of Anderson Military Academy to question them!
"Midterm exams, life or death is in the hands of fate." The person in charge coldly pushed these relatives away. The death of one or two students is common in exam incidents, especially since they had signed that agreement from the beginning.
But even half a day had passed, and one communication video after another made the smooth signal choppy!
"What...another student casualty?!" The person in charge pressed his lips tightly together, finally realizing the anomaly behind the large number of "accidental" student deaths!
He quickly canceled all his recent social engagements and made a call to the school and even the military!
"Students from Anderson Military Academy undergoing assessments on a desolate planet have suffered numerous casualties for unknown reasons... We request military intervention!"
"I suspect this is the Zerg that were not completely wiped out on the desolate planet and have returned with a vengeance!"
As soon as Si Yisi stepped onto this land, his expression changed—he smelled blood and caught a rustling sound.
Something popped out of the ground!
At the same time, Si Yisi suddenly felt his lips were dry and cracked, and his chest was burning hot. A golden light shone from his eyes.
Just then, Hawking turned around to ease his tension and immediately saw Si Yisi's pair of golden eyes with vertical pupils!
"Thud!" The crossbow bolts he was dragging in his hand fell to the ground.
Hawking looked as if he had seen a ghost—golden, beast-like eyes, the symbol of the Zerg announced by the Empire!
He suddenly shivered, his smile froze, and his neck twisted back as if it were a rusty machine.
Hawking seemed to be trying to dismiss what he had just seen as an illusion.
“You saw it.” Si Yisi’s expression remained unchanged, decisively shattering Huo Jinren’s attempt to deceive himself.
"I...I..." Hawking's exposed calves were trembling.
“I have some connection with the Zerg. If you’re afraid of me, you can leave at any time.” Si Yisi finished speaking and walked past Hawking Ren, about to leave.
Hawking suddenly stepped forward and followed behind him.
Si Yisi could even hear his teeth chattering, but Huo Jinren still persevered and followed step by step.
“I…I don’t care about the Zerg,” Hawking said, biting his lip. “I only know that you trust me, and that’s enough.”
Si Yisi smiled slightly, letting Huo Jinren walk behind him. He was right about Huo Jinren. Si Yisi also knew that if Huo Jinren chose to act alone, there was an 80% chance he would be devoured by the invading Zerg.
It's all about a single thought; that's how it happens.
Si Yisi quickly picked up speed and headed towards the heartland from which the smell of blood was coming!
This desolate planet was too vast; it took Si Yisi twenty or thirty minutes to reach the place where the smell of blood was strongest. He paused for a moment on the black earth, then squatted down and picked up a few pieces of tattered cloth.
"...True."
Si Yisi looked at the pieces of fabric with an inscrutable expression. They came from the noble students who had been following Tru!
The sudden resurgence of the Zerg hidden on the desolate planet must be related to Tru! This was a hunt targeting Sis, but his heinous actions may have resulted in the deaths of most of the students at Anderson Military Academy!
Si Yisi's expression shifted slightly, and he subconsciously reached for his waist. He didn't find the dagger; that dangerous thing had been eliminated long before he disembarked from the spaceship!
Give me the wooden sword you made!
Si Yisi called out to Huo Jinren, who threw the sword in an arc, and it landed accurately in Si Yisi's palm.
And taking advantage of the instant the wooden sword hit the ground, he stabbed at Hawking Ren!
Hawking's mind went blank, but suddenly a dark patch appeared in front of his retina—
He jumped in fright. It was a long and hideous "worm" with a disgusting, sticky, milky-white body. When it hit the ground, it spilled sticky liquid all over the ground, just like... a newborn larva!
"My God, my God, my God!" Before Hawking Ren could recover from the shock, he saw several of these "long worms" suddenly appear around him and Si Yisi!
He didn't have Si Yisi's aiming ability to hit the bullseye every time, so he randomly grabbed a homemade military dagger and stabbed them!
Then Hawking saw the eyes of these worms, sharp, metallic-looking golden vertical pupils covered by a thin membrane!
"Zerg, Zerg!"
"How could they appear on a barren planet?!"
Si Yisi appeared to be killing these juvenile Zerg as easily as slicing a watermelon, but in reality, his body was subconsciously hindering him from slaughtering these Zerg!
It was a very strange feeling. When Si Yisi pierced the body of the larval insectoid with his wooden sword, he actually felt the same way!
It's like... the moment you kill them, you also fully experience the pain of being killed!
Si Yisi and the larval insectoids seemed to be inextricably linked!
The distorted babbling constantly interfered with Si Yisi's perception, but he didn't even twitch his eyebrows, just repeatedly stabbing and pulling!
So what if we experience death repeatedly and cumulatively? As long as the spirit lives on, the body can never become a constraint!
Tru, hidden in the shadows, bit his nails hard. The nails on his right hand were already pitted and uneven from being chewed. But Tru seemed to feel no pain at all, his eyes wide open, staring intently at Si Yisi!
With so many Zerg, what does your momentary bravery amount to?! When your energy is exhausted, you'll eventually be worn down and killed!
Tru's excitement grew stronger, and the bloody aura emanating from the slain Zerg made his pupils seem to be stained with blood.
Look at it, it's utterly terrifying!
Si Yisi could clearly sense the sinister gaze coming from a certain direction, but the main task at hand was to wipe out these insectoids... Tru would naturally be dealt with last!
Tru was excitedly waiting for Sis to exhaust himself, but he saw that as the larval insectoids attacked Sis one after another, Sis showed no signs of fatigue! He even had the energy to help the panting Hawking Ren dodge the attacks!
Time ticked by, and Si Yisi's clothes were stained red with blood. Yet he stood like a towering mountain, and the larval insectoids that approached him could not even get close...
They can only passively take the beating!
No, no, no! Tru saw a pile of Zerg corpses covering the ground, but the number of Zerg in the vicinity had visibly decreased by more than one percent!
Tru showed no sense of crisis whatsoever; instead, he grew even more resentful—was this the true talent of the prince of the Katz Empire?! Why was he just an imposter?!
That talent... should have been his!
"That's right, I know what to do." Tru flipped his hand and took out the hidden mecha button.
He had to seize this perfect opportunity to capture Si'an alive, then extract his blood, bone marrow, and genes to turn his talent into a potion.
Tru wanted to completely plunder the talent that Sis had revealed!
Just as Tru was about to make his move, Si Yisi acted in unison. The next second, he grabbed Hawking Ren by the collar and quickly retreated several steps!
"boom!"
The moment Si Yisi and the others stood firm, the entire desolate planet seemed to tremble, and a huge slash ran across the ground in front of them!
This slit tore the ground in two, with a destructive force comparable to that of a major earthquake!
Si Yisi looked up and saw a long, silvery tail! This tail had several bone spikes growing from it, and the tip of each spike gleamed with a chilling light!
Without a doubt... that cut was made by that long tail!
Before them appeared a beautiful woman with a graceful figure. Her eyes seemed to be completely filled with gold, without even a trace of white, giving people an extremely strong sense of incongruity!
Huo Jinren subconsciously took another step back, and quickly tugged at Si Yisi's sleeve.
This is nothing like those larval insectoids that even he could kill! Hawking glanced at the bottomless crack and was so frightened he almost lost his soul.
Anlina herded a group of "weak" larval insectoids to her side, then glanced at the corpses of several times more larval insectoids spread on the ground, and her face suddenly swelled up!
They watched helplessly as Anlina's exquisitely beautiful face was ripped open, revealing eyes the size of ping-pong balls and a deformed head!
The thrill of that moment was indescribable!
"I'll kill...you! You disobedient brat!"
Anlina roared, her voice like the melodious song of a nightingale, and her huge eyes suddenly turned before she leaped and attacked Si Yisi!
"Tsk..."
In this encounter, Si Yisi sensed the strength of the Zerg before her; this was definitely not an existence that could be easily shaken! Si Yisi, fighting her almost "bare-handed," had at most a 50% chance of winning…
Si Yisi dodged Anlina's successive attacks on her limbs and tail, and took out the so-called child mech!
"hiss!"
Si Yisi and A Tu looked at each other in bewilderment. They had no idea when this guy had replaced the child mecha with himself!
"Hiss~"
In an instant, Si Yisi understood what A Tu meant; he wanted to fight alongside her!
"As you wish!" Si Yisi smiled. This time... A-Tu was no longer a mere supporting character in the fight; he was fighting alongside him!
"Ha!" Anlina scoffed. "You were thinking of using this ugly thing?! As expected... it's just... nothing more!"
Anlina spoke the two middle words very softly, so softly that they didn't even reach Sis's ears.
Faced with such undisguised mockery, he simply remained silent, maneuvering his mech to fight the Zerg before him!
Ugly? No matter how ugly you are, I can still beat you to a pulp!
